Please renew your passport. Once done, please submit a webform request to CIC along with copy of new passport so that they update your application.
How it impacts your application cannot be definitely answered but I think it should not cause any delays.
Another question: if I would get 6 month visa for PR in my old passport, then renew my passport and keep old one, would it be OK in the border when I will enter Canada with both passports?
Once you update your passport info, they will provide you visa in renewed passport. And validity will be along y with medical validity end date.
Old passport will be cancelled.
I mean if I will get PR visa in my old passport (to avoid any possible delays), then renew my passport (for getting US visa) and keep my old passport as well. Then to enter Canada with both passports. Old passport will be canceled but PR visa will be valid.
I doubt anyone will accept a phone call to change a passport number without seeing a copy of the passport bio page with the new passport number. Ask yourself would you action such a request on the phone from a total stranger ? Would you be happy that an agent took that action on your application ?
In that case, yes.

13.18 Valid visas in expired passports
Visa officers will not put a visa in an expired document and will not issue a visa for a period surpassing the expiry date of the passport or travel document. Occasionally, documents containing valid visas are cancelled or replaced. If a valid visa inside an expired document is presented at the POE along with a valid passport or travel document, the visa is considered valid.
